*3 Weeks Later*

Kate p.o.v

I was brushing out my hair from my shower and doing my make up when my phone vibrated next to me. I looked down and smiled. I picked it up and read the text.

Gabe: Hey, What are you doing later?

Me: Goin to Bel's dance recital. Want to come with me? I have an extra ticket.

Gabe: Yea sure, but why do you have an extra ticket lol.

Me: Well if you must know I was being cheap and the 3 pack of tickets cost cheaper than 2 tickets seperately. So are you coming or not? lol

Gabe: Yeah want me to come and get you?

Me: Of course I'm not going to walk. Lol jk but that would be nice of you thanks. Be here at 6:30 it starts at 7. See ya then Gabe.

Gabe: See ya then Kate :)

I smiled and closed out of the app and began brushing my hair again. I began to think me and Gabe have become really good friends since the dance. He gives me my space when I need it and he is very sweet also. I smiled and finished up my make up. Once I was finished I walked over to my closet and grabbed my black short shorts and white v-neck. I pulled them on and lotioned my legs and arms and soon he showed up. He knocked on my door. I ran down the steps and opened the door. He stood there with a smile on his face and he wore a simple black pair of jeans with a white v-neck. He looked sharp in a way.

''Hey ready to go?'' He asked.

''Nope, I have to get dressed, put my shoes on, do my hair and make-up.'' His smile faltered.

''But you look-'' I cut him off.

''Yes silly, lets go.'' I laughed closing the door behind me and walking towards the car. He chuckled to himself as he got in shaking his head. And then I showed him where the dance studio was.

''No turn left.''

''Right?''

''No did I say right, no I didn't think so. Turn left.'' He rolled his eyes playfully, but pulled into the parking lot. We got inside and found Jake sitting in the front.

''Kate, Gabe?''

''Yeah I hope you don't mind I brought him.'''Jake shook his smiling.

''No I don't mind.'' 

We sat down and watched the dance show begin. Bel was beyond good. She was amazing, Jake wore a smile the whole time obviously proud of his girlfriend. I was proud she has been practicing for the dance for a long long time. Once the show was over me and Gabe went to go get ice-cream. I got cookies and cream and he got cookie dough. I took a dab on my finger and put it on his nose.

''Real mature Kate.'' He mocked wipping it off. Before I knew it a had a cookie dough ball on my chest. I glared at him he shot me with his spoon. I took it and ate it winking at him playfully. He laughed lightly.

'Nice aim.'' I laughed lightly.

''Okay 20 questions. GO!'' I looked at him and he smiled.

''Okay um favorite color?'' He asked.

''Blue duh.'' I rolled my eyes playfully and he chuckled.

''Listen to music or play music?''

''Play as in?''

''Like you play guitar or somthing.''

''Oh well both.''

''What do you play?''

''Piano.''

''Nice, I play guitar.''

''Ohhhh. Play me something somtime.''

''Maybe, you have to be really special.'' I gasped playfully. And put my hand over my heart.

''I'm not special?'' He laughed loudly.  I smiled and laughed too.

''Okay um pepsi or coke?''

''Pepsi are you insane? Coke is such a rip off of Pepsi.''

''No, I think Pepsi is a rip off of Coke.''

''Nope your opininon is invalid love.''

''I don't think so, but I'll let you win. QuickTrip coffee or Starbucks?''

''QuickTrip. Is that even a question?'' He laughed his eyes lighting up.

''Kate can I ask you something?''

''You just did.'' I smiled at him. He rolled his eyes and smiled.

''Seriously though. Can I?'' I nodded eating another bite of my ice cream.

''Do you think you're like ready to date?''

''Are you asking me out?''

''Kinda in a way.'' His cheeks tinted a little red. He smiled shyly.

 ''It's not going to be easy. With me you know.''

 ''It's not supposed to be hard either. Let's just try and see you know.''

''Okay we can try.'' He grinned at me. Looking down smiling eating more ice-cream. I aimed my spoon at him and it hit him on the cheek cause he was looking at the door. He gasped loudly. I busted out laughing. Everyone stared at me as I huddled over cluthing my stomach. He just glared at me with a smile sneaking its way onto his face.

 ''Come on. We are going home, you have had enough ice cream for awhile.'' I nodded getting up. He laced his hand in mine and I jumped slightly at the contact. I went to pull away, but the smile on his face made me decided against it. I smiled along with him and we drove back to my house and said good night.

 ''Good night Gabe.'' He wrapped his arms around me.

''Thanks for trying with me. Night Kate.'' And he pulled away smiling and getting in his truck and driving away once I got inside. I smiled and went and took a shower and changed before slipping in bed and going to sleep.
